oakland, mid-30s in san jose, 32 degrees in concord, so freezing over there, just two above that in livermore and really chilly in santa rosa sitting in the upper 20s. we will take a look at where those temperatures are headed coming up in my full report. justine. >> thank you so much. our top story this morning is the battle over the care of an oakland teenager on life support. it's becoming a war of words as jahi mcmath's family is running out of time to keep her on a ventilator. after the 13-year-old was declared brain dead following a tonsillectomy more than two weeks ago. kron4's mike pelton joins us live this morning from oakland's children's hospital with the very latest. good morning, mike. >> reporter: justine, jahi's family attorney says they have taken one step forward by getting the alameda county coroner to consent to a move, but several hurdles remains before they can move her to a facility. the court order expires monday evening at 5:00 and ahead of

that deadline, tensions are running high. yesterday we saw a heated exchange between the hospital spokesman and the family attorney. >> apparently you think that your clients -- that you will fight to pull the plug. between the two of us i would rather be on my side anyday. >> providing false hope and creating a hoax that some lady is going to come back when two doctors have told you otherwise -- >> the judge hasn't said she isn't coming up. the judge said under the law she is legally brain dead, period. >> reporter: after one facility fell through, the attorney for jahi's family tells us they believe they found a second long-term care facility that will take jahi in southern california but children's hospital oakland says certain conditions must first be met and they will not perform any necessary surgery on jahi after already declaring her dead. jahi's family attorney says he, the hospital and long-term care facility have begun discussions to move jahi.

the problem now is finding someone to perform necessary procedures. >> all of them have the requirement that there be a gas tick tube and the endo tracheal tube. the endotracheal tube has to be in place for a time before the wound can heal and transport. >> if they want to move the body of this individual we will do everything in our powers so long as it's legally and medically correct to help them. >> reporter: and the deadline again is 5:00 on monday evening. the hospital does plan to take jahi off the ventilator unless a new court order is issued before then. jahi's family says they will do anything and everything to meet all of these requirements. they are going back to court monday morning to seek an extension. justine. >> thanks so much, mike. we will check back with you in our next hour. transit union workers approved a new labor contract with management averting a possible strike. it was the third time union

thankful, you know, give the media all the difficulty you want for what they do but this would not have happened if you guys had not immediately jumped in because he wouldn't have seen it, he wouldn't have known and so my heart is huge. i am so grateful. >> derek requested privacy when speaking to police. family and friends said for derek to take all the time that he needs. they are glad that he's okay. in san francisco, a body found in the water near pier 48 has now been identified as 22- year-old paula meadow, the student from brazil had been visiting san francisco. he was reported missing in october after he left a disturbing message for relatives saying that he needed help. his sister later came to san francisco from l.a. to file a missing persons report. police are saying the case could now become a homicide investigation. a man from the bay area has been killed in an avalanche in wyoming. this happened thursday near a resort in jackson hole.

every house in the neighborhood of fenton, michigan has been without power for seven days. people say they have gotten used to the constant hum of generators but getting used to life with no electricity is it -- is not as easy. one woman says she has to go to extreme measures just to use the bathroom. >> while on the back deck, shovel my snow, put it in my christmas tote and drag it in, heat my water up, put it in the bucket and then i go over to the toilet and fill it up so i can flush toilets in here. >> that is pretty extreme. utility crews are working to restore the neighborhood's power but they say it could be as late as tonight before the lights and the toilets come back on. the flu season has officially started here. the cdc is urging people to get their flu shots after the number of states reporting a seasonal flu activity jumped from four to 10 last week. new york, texas and alabama are

among the states showing widespread activity but texas has been hit the hardest reporting at least five deaths from what is known as the swine flu. >> the majority of hospitalizations for influenza occur in people 65 years of age or older and the majority of deaths also in that group. but we know that h1n1, this particular influenza virus does cause more infections in younger adults. >> flu vaccines are recommended for everyone six months and older. health experts are also remiked people -- reminding people of some basic safety tips like washing your hands and staying home if you're sick. it is 7:17. we want to feigned out what the weather has in store -- find out what the weather has in store and curious about new year's eve as 2013 is wrapping up and looks like no rain in store for a little while. good morning. >> good morning. we don't really have any big changes to talk about in the forecast. it is another spare the air day. we have sunny and mild conditions on top for today and tomorrow and as we head into

the u.s. military will more willing to come forward due to the heightened attention to the crime. officials say this might explain why the number of reported sexual assaults went up by 50% this year remember more than 5000 reports of sexual assaults were filed during the fiscal year that ended on september 30th. compare that to the just over 3000 that were reported last year. police have released new documents in the newtown shooting investigation. the papers describe adam lanza's mother as a parent who acknowledged that her 20-year- old son appeared to be spiraling downward but was not aware to what extent. nancy lanza told a lifelong friend days before the massacre that her son was becoming increasingly dispond dent. about two -- despondent. two weeks later he shot her in the head, gunned down 20 first graders and six educators at sandy hook elementary school and then killed himself. the pages also discuss lanza's

fascination with violence and the brave attempts by school employees to protect the children. the debate over the nsa's collection of phone records is heating up once again in court this time. a federal judge in new york ruled on friday that the nsa's phone surveillance program is legal and said that the program was necessary in the fight against terrorism. the decision comes just days after a second federal judge said it was likely not constitutional. the opposing ruling set the stage for a federal appeals court. however, some believe that this debate will now end up being settled by the supreme court. despite a string of summertime flops, hollywood is expected to have a banner year at the box office. coming in just shy of $11 billion, that is the largest annual take ever. but because of higher ticket prices, actual attendance at theaters remained flat after a decade of decline. high profile slots such as the

lone ranger, after earth and turbo were offset by mega hits like "fast and furious 6", ironman 33, a strong haul and holiday slate boosting this year's holiday total as we hit the end of the year. debit card pin data when target was hacked, they do have the numbers. the company says the pins were encrypted and that this strongly reduces the risk to customers. however, a security analyst is now saying that the pins are vulnerable and you should change them. target also says this morning that law enforcement officials have launched a forensic and criminal investigation into the breach. we will take a quick break here on the kron4 news weekend. when we come back, we will find out what is happening with jahi mcmath, the 13-year-old still on life support at children's hospital in oakland. we will get an update on her condition after this.

governing. our top story on this saturday, the battle over the care of an oakland teenager on life support became a war of words outside of children's hospital oakland. the hospital says it will release the body of jahi mcmath if the family can get a doctor to perform the insertion of a breathing tube and a nourishment tube, provide transportion -- transaction and provide a facility that is willing to have her body. they had it out on the front steps of the hospital on friday. >> apparently you think that your clients, that you will fight to pull that plug. between the two of us i would rather be on my side any day. >> providing false hope and creating a hoax that some young lady who is deceased is somehow going to come back when a judge has told you otherwise and two doctors have told you otherwise? >> the judge has not said she is coming back. you're out of your mind. this is the problem in doctors. they make up things. the judge said under the law she is legally brain dead,

period. >> the hospital says it will help the family with their wishes as long as things are done in a legal and ethical way. jahi's family has located a second nursing home willing to provide her long-term care after another facility here in the bay area backed out. the lawyer for the mcmath family says the facility in southern california, but he's not naming the name just yet. we will have a live report from the hospital in 30 minutes from now. we want to find out today's forecast. we have a look at a very dry, yet sunny one. good morning. >> good morning to you. it's the view from our mount cam and sunshine chilly start, especially for the northbound bay this morning so pulling up those numbers, if you're heading out the door in santa rosa, 26 degrees there, 28 degrees currently in novato, mid-30s in oakland, upper 40s in fremont and upper 30s currently in the south bay. now as we head into the afternoon it's going to be another sunny, hazy day,

temperatures pretty much 60s across the board with the exception of the coast our daly city, 59 degrees, 62 degrees for san francisco today, mid- 60s for richmond, oakland, 62 degrees the high for fremont and 63 degrees expected for livermore. as we head into the evening hours, we are going to continue to see mainly clear skies. temperatures going to be dropping down to at about 8:00 p.m. if you're headed out this evening in san jose, 50 degrees. we will take a look at the extended forecast coming up in a bit. justine. >> thank you so much. the power is now back on in the east bay after a squirrel caused a blackout. pg&e restored the power to customers in the dark. pg&e says the outage was apparently caused by a squirrel that came in contact with a piece of electrical equipment connected to a bank of transformers. the latest spare-the-air alert extended now through today. that means no fires indoors or

outdoors with wood, charcoal or any other solid fuel. this is the sixth spare the air day in a row. we have also found out there's this new study by mit that says san francisco's unhealthiest air can be found in the inner mission. both the inner and outer mission are bordered -- bordered by freeways. those are known health risks but people living in the inner mission are six times more likely to suffer from pulmonary disease because in the outer mission they are more likely to have trees. the study recommends planting more trees to combat freeway pollution and even encourage homeowners now to install green roofs. it's one thing to have unhealthy air outside, but what about inside your home as well? lawrence berkeley lab researchers are warning people with gas ranges to be aware they are exposing themselves to toxic fumes. they say something even as harmless as boiling water can lead to respiratory problems.

people with gas ranges are being urged now to use a range hood whenever a gas flame is ignited. >> so this flame right here is probably producing nitrogen dioxide and articles. we want to put this pot of cold water onto the flame, then cold pot is interrupting the flame that's probably producing some carbon monoxide now, so the combination of the things can build up in your house to levels that we say are unhealthy. when you cook, if you have one of these hoods above here and it vents to the outdoors that you want to turn it on before you start cooking, leave it other while you're cooking -- it on while you're cooking and maybe a little while after. >> researchers say the fans in range hoods were more effective at cutting down pollution from the back burners. now you have to see this picture. this is the stolen phone selfie in oakland. that wasn't the right video but we will get it for you.

in oakland police searching for two cell phone thieves. they say one of the armed robbers took a photo of himself with a stolen phone. it was in august that authorities say a woman was walking down east 28th street when two men demanded her phone and a necklace. she gave it to them but she had her phone set up that any photos taken on that phone would be automatically uploaded to the internet so police were then able to track down the suspect because he took a photo of himself with her phone. so there's now a $2500 reward being offered. hopefully we will get that picture for you in our next hour. and santa cruz county now offering residents recycling options for their christmas tree, including free curbside pickups and drop-off locations. the trees will be chipped to serve as mulch for landscaping and burned to generate electrical power. there are some rules for recycling trees including the taller trees have to be cut to a maximum of 6 feet at curbside pickup. the dates for when pickup

starts depend on where you live so you can find information on the santa cruz county department of public works website. i would just put this out there, maybe take all your ornaments off it before you put it out for recycling. also this morning the marin humane society holding a pet food drive to gather more donations of pet food, toys, treats and other supplies. this is for their special human animal relationship or share program. the program works with the shelters such as the novato humane society and helps them pair with companies that do low income help. they help people who have low income residents who have pets. if you donate them, they help the low income things. that got confusing. you cannot donate items for dogs and cats. they will take things for rabbits and birds as well. donations dropped off to the novato humane society or any pretty food express stores in marin. take a quick break here on the kron4 news weekend and we will be right back.

more than a million people are losing extended unemployment benefits today including 213,000 people here in california. we get the very latest from sullen safordy. >> reporter: this is what the last six months have been like for paul. >> i've answered 500 want ads on one website alone. >> reporter: at 52 he's been out of work in educational publishing and now another blow. he's one of 1.3 million americans losing unemployment benefits. on average, they have been getting $300 each week. his check wasn't nearly november to cover the $1100 a month rent on his new york apartment and now it will stop coming. >> i won't be able to buy food or pay my bills. >> reporter: extended unemployment benefits beyond the usual 26 weeks started

during the bush administration to help americans hit by the recession. since 2008 they have been renewed 11 times. but not this time. congress failed to pass an extension in the budget deal, teeing up a nasty fight for the new year. >> it's going to be classic messy washington politics over an issue where the two parties don't have united view. this is one of those issues that the right flank wants to fight on. >> reporter: some republicans say it's time to end the program altogether. they argue it's too expensive, a year's extension costs $25 billion. people have gotten dependent and they say the economy is strong enough now without them. >> when you extend benefits to, you know, 73 weeks or 99 weeks, it encourages some people to stay unemployed too long and that makes it increasingly hard for them to get back into the workforce. >> reporter: democrats say benefit checks get spent right

away, spending that's necessary to boost the economic recovery. >> this is what these people need in order just to get by and it's what the economy needs in order to keep its momentum. removing this bare minimum safety net beyond just being cruel is not going to be productive in terms of getting them back in the labor force or getting them a job. >> reporter: but the political blame game doesn't help paul housey's new reality. >> extremely stressful. i've gotten physically sick. i haven't been able to sleep. >> reporter: cnn, washington. much more ahead here on kron4 news weekend. the time right now 7:43. we will be back after a quick break. don't go anywhere. a subaru...

mountain but all around pretty pleasant conditions. another spare the air day so a mix of hazy sun out there but sunny and mild and we are going to continue to see these conditions actually tomorrow as well as we head into the week. taking a look at satellite and radar, we did have the high to midlevel clouds streaming through yesterday but that system has pushed out of our area and on the tail end of that we have high pressure building so this means any storm track is going to stay well to the north of us so it's going to continue to stay dry here in the bay area as we wrap up the year. as for your temperatures, certainly a chilly start in santa rosa, 26 degrees there, 28 degrees currently in napa, mid-40s here in downtown san francisco, upper 30s in half moon bay and waking up to about mid-30s in livermore this morning. we've got another round of 60s for our afternoon highs, so upper 60s expected for los gatos, campbell, 66 degrees the high for st. clair. lynn valley, low 60s along the delta, 64 degrees for danville and fairfield, low to mid-60s

declared brain dead following a tonsillectomy more than two weeks ago. kron4's mike pelton joins us now from children's hospital oakland with the very latest. good morning, mike. >> reporter: good morning, justine. you know, the hospital says it will allow a transfer as long as it's done legally and ethically but during that process certain requirements must be met. jahi's family attorney tells us that they have met one of those by getting the alameda county coroner to approve a possible move but they are now running up against the clock. the court order keeping jahi on a ventilator expires monday evening at 5:00 and ahead of that deadline we have seen tensions run high here at the hospital. yesterday we saw a heated exchange between the family attorney and a hospital spokesman. >> apparently you think for your clients that you will fight to pull that plug. between the two of us i would rather be on my side any day. >> providing false hope and creating a hoax that some young lady who is deceased is somehow going to come back when a judge has told you otherwise and two doctors have told you

otherwise? >> the judge hasn't said she is not coming back. you're out of your mind. this is a problem with spin doctors, they make up things. the judge said under the law she will legally brain dead, period. >> reporter: after one facility fell through, the attorney for jahi's family tells us they believe they found a second long-term care facility that will take jahi in southern california but certain conditions must be met first and children's hospital oakland will not perform any necessary surgeries on jahi after already declaring her brain dead. jahi's family attorney says he, the hospital and long-term care facility have begun discussions ho move jahi. the problem now is finding a way to complete necessary procedures. >> all of them have the requirement that there be a g tube, the gas tick tube and the -- gastric tube and the end tracheal tube. the problem is the endotracheal tube has to be in place for a period of time in order for the wound around it to heal before there can be transport. >> they won't take no for an answer and that's very sad but if they want to move the body

of this individual we will do everything in our powers so long as it's legally and medically correct to help them. >> reporter: jahi's family has set up an online donation site to try and raise funds for her transfer. again, that deadline is monday at 5:00 in the evening. children's hospital oakland has indicated they do plan to take jahi off the ventilator unless a court order -- or new court order is issued or if she is transferred by that time. jahi's family has indicated they could be back in court on monday to seek an extension. justine. >> thanks so much, mike. we will check back with you the next hour. ac transit union workers now approved a new labor contract with management averting a possible strike. it was the third time unions voted after two previous proposals were rejected earlier this year. the agreement includes a 9 1/2 % wage increase which will be phased in over the next three years. employees will also contribute $125 a month to their health care costs. now, this needs to be approved by the agency's board of

directors in a meeting on january 8th. the search for a navy veteran reported missing in san francisco is over this morning because police confirmed that 30-year-old derek sell contacted them to confirm he is okay. derek has now not been seen, though for over a week. that's when friends and family launched an aggressive search to find him. san francisco police delivered the good news on friday that derek was safe and they -- he called in after seeing his story on television. derek's father was overwhelmed after hearing this good news. >> i don't even know how to say i am so relieved and so thankful, you know, give the media all the difficulty you want for what they do but this would not have happened if you guys had not immediately jumped in because he wouldn't have seen t he wouldn't have known and -- seen it, he wouldn't have known. my heart is huge. i'm so grateful. >> derek requested privacy when

speaking to police. we don't know his exact location. family and friends said that derek should take all the time that he needs. they are just glad that he's okay. in san francisco, a body found in the water near pier 48 has now been identified as 22- year-old paulo netto, a student from brazil who had been visiting san francisco. he was reported missing in october after he left a disturbing message for relatives saying that he needed help. his sister later came to san francisco from los angeles to file a missing person's report. police are saying that this case could become a homicide investigation. a man from the bay area has been killed in an avalanche in wyoming. this happened on thursday near a resort in jackson hole. the man, michael kazanjy was skiing the back country with friends when they apparently triggered an avalanche. rescuers found the 29-year-old about half an hour later and

weekend. time right now 8:16. this is a view from our mount tam camera. pretty much waking up to plenty of sunshine so another round of sunny and mild temperatures today. another spare-the-air day today, as for tomorrow continue to have the above average temperatures in the bay area, it's going to be mainly sunny and mild next week and dry conditions will continue and this is why, so taking a look at satellite and radar, we have high pressure in place here and that's keeping any storm track far to the north of us so dry conditions continuing. as for temperatures still really chilly in santa rosa, 25 degrees there, low 30s in napa, heading out the door here in san francisco, 46 degrees here, waking up to 36 degrees in fremont and currently 34 degrees in livermore. afternoon highs, we are expecting plenty of 60s, mid- 60s for cupertino, sun vail, 64 -- sunnyvale, 64 degrees for fremont. low 60s along the delta, mid- 60s for danville, pleasnaton,

63 degrees the high for vallejo, downtown san francisco topping out at 62 degrees, upper 50s at ocean beach and mid-60s for the north bay today. take a look at your seven-day forecast around the bay, showing us continuing to have the mid-60s on the board throughout the week with your bay areas dropping down to the mid-40s and inland lows dropping down to the mid-30s. justine. >> thank you so much. the bay area is a hot bed of top rated restaurants and celebrity chefs so no surprise that 2013 saw some of the most interesting new dining trends and we have our yelp community managers here with us this morning, abbie schwartz and dominique farrar, here to recap the popular trends of 2013. we are starting with the cronut. i have seen lines around, miles long, exaggerating a little bit there, to get one of these. what are they and why so popular? >> start with the most decadent thing first, right? the cronut is a croissant- doughnut hybrid. we've got to give credit where

it's due, developed in new york and patent pending, will be his. >> it's like a registered name, cronut. >> technically, yes. we have having cron ots and these are from posh bagel. got this nice flakey crust on the inside and filled and sugar land like a doughnut outside. it's not fried. >> it's not fried. it's baked? >> yes, like a croissant and then you decorate it like you would any doughnut so it's the best of both worlds. >> why would it take until 2013 to think of something as amazing as this? >> i don't know but i'm glad they did. this is from posh bagels. there are six different varieties. where else can you get a cronut in the bay area? if you're in san francisco you can go to filmore bake shop and do cinnamon sugar cronuts or

paris baguette in palo alto or berkeley. the next one we want to talk about are juice bars, juice everywhere, everybody loves juice. >> we had to have a trend to balance out the cronut. juice, people have been making their own juice for a long time but this year we really saw the trend go mainstream with the juice bars popping up, people walking around with cups of green slush everywhere. they are actually a lot more tasty than they look. yelpers have appointeddous to -- pointed us to a couple of juice shops. the juice shop in san francisco and they have three locations, they actually have a couple of stands, a truck and a storefront in the city so their signature is these cute little glass bottles that you bring back to them and get refilled so it's a good way to -- >> i keep mine. i don't know why. i have a huge stack of them

somewhere in my kitchen. >> they make great flower vases. but they are a great option. they do some supergreen blends so if you really want to detox in the new year, this trend can definitely work for you. and then native juice company is in oakland, san francisco and the marin farmers market and they -- since they have stands at the farmers market they take all those fruits and veggies from the market and just juice them right there on the spot. >> wow. >> and i love the names of their juice, they have one called you've got kale and then got rebecca romaine so makes drinking your vegetables more fun. >> is there a trend in juice that is more popular now, like people like the green juices or is there a vegetable or fruit that's popping up in juices now? >> the green juice is definitely the thing to do. >> that's the it thing? >> yeah. because it's very low guilt. each though it's an expensive habit you feel like you're doing something good for yourself. a lot of spicey blends. a lot of people are adding

pepper, cayenne, ginger, it gets your metabolism going. >> the next one is blada to cheese. it is delicious. >> one friend texted me saying where can i get burrata cheese. it is a handmade mozzarella cheese. a nice firm outside like the mozzarella but once you dig into it with a knife or fork it oozes out and it's nice and decadent. we were joking like you can't go to any american new restaurant in the bay area and not see burrata cheese on the menu so definitely keep your eye out for it. one place was a16 in oakland on rockridge on college avenue and they have burrata with winter chicory, corona olive oil and sea salts. and one in redwood city with burrata with pears or heirloom

tomatoes and they got a recommendation. >> very popular. >> yeah. >> and the last one, house made sodas, that's what these two glasses are. how come that was so popular this year? >> we saw saw in a lot of news, yelpers mentioning the house made soda. we have all had coke and pepsi our whole lives so i think people are wanting to switch it up so a couple of spots in oakland, has about five different sodas that they do, really interesting blends like a cacao nib soda, also have like a lemongrass and cardamom. >> these are not diet coke or sprite, these are -- >> yes. these with the got from dwenday on ninth street. this pink one is a rose quench and the yellow is a citrus vanilla. you can see little flecks of vanilla in there too.

it's great for people who don't drink because they feel like they are getting something artisan and fancy but if you do drink, add a shot of something to it and a great base to your cocktail. >> any predictions for 2014 looking ahead? do you think these will stick around and start to see something else? >> i think these will stick around for a while. none of them too crazy. the juice will be good for a resolution. i don't know about the cronuts. >> too much of a good thing. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you for bricking in these delicious -- bringing in these delicious treats. >> happy new year. >> we will be right back.

good. good answer. check it out. learning's fun now. yeah, back in our day, we didn't have u-verse high speed internet to play and learn online. all we had was that franklin fuzzypants.

good morning. we are back at 8:27. and target has confirmed that debit card pin data was stolen when the retailer was hacked. the company says the pins were encrypted and that this strongly reduces the risk to customers. however, the security analysts are saying that pins are vulnerable and you should

change those numbers. target says law enforcement officials have launched a forensic and criminal investigation into the breach that may have affected some 40 million customers. now, they do say no good deed goes unpunished but a cabdriver in sin city discovered it also can be highly rewarded. gerardo gamboa made the headlines when he returned the paper bag filled with $300,000 in cash that was left behind in his cab. the money belonged to a very forgetful professional poker player and now he has given gamboa a $10,000 reward as a thank you. gamboa's employer also gave him a reward, $1000, a steak dinner for two, four days of time off, paid time off at that, and the title of driver of the year. kron4 programming is sponsored by nissan. good. good answer.

check it out. learning's fun now. yeah, back in our day,

we didn't have u-verse high speed internet to play and learn online. all we had was that franklin fuzzypants. ah, the educational toy bear. remember when the battery went out? [ slow, deep voice ] give me your abc's. all i learned was a new definition of fear. i need some pudding. yeah, there's one left. [ male announcer ] connect all your wi-fi-enabled devices with u-verse high speed internet. rethink possible.

good morning at 8:30 the battle over the care of an oakland teenager on life support became a war of words outside of children's hospital oakland. the hospital says that it will release the body of jahi mcmath if the family can get a doctor who perform the insertion of a breathing tube in her throat and a nourishment tube in her stomach that would provide -- also they need to be able to provide transportation and have a facility that is willing to receive her body. the hospital spokesperson and the attorney for the family got into a little argument outside of the steps of the hospital yesterday. >> apparently you think that your clients, that you will fight to pull that plug. between the two of us i would rather be on my side any day. >> providing false hope and creating a hoax that some young lady who is deceased is somehow going to come back when a judge has told you otherwise and two doctors have told you otherwise? >> the judge says she isn't coming back. the judge said that under the law she is legally brain dead,

period. >> the hospital says it will help the family with their wishes as long as things are done in a legal and ethical way. jahi's family has now located a second nursing home willing to provide her with long-term care after another facility backed out. a lawyer for the mcmaths says the facility is in southern california but he will not provide a name. we will have a live report from outside the hospital in 30 minutes from now with kron4's mike pelton. right now we want to get a check of the forecast and see what's in store for new year's eve as we are just winding down 2013 and it looks like in a dry way. good morning,. >> good morning. going to stay dry for the remainder of the year. it's a little bit breezy out there but we are waking up to lots of sunshine. as for your temperatures, it's been a chilly start in the north bay. still 25 degrees in santa rosa, 28 degrees in novato, freezing in napa at 32 degrees. we are looking at mid-30s if you're heading out the door in oakland, 38 degrees in hayward

and currently 37 degrees in san jose. as we head into the afternoon, it is another spare-the-air day, sunny and hazy conditions with 60s mainly on the board, so 66 degrees a high for napa, 65 for richmond, oakland, 61 degrees the high in a ward and getting to about 63 degrees for san jose. headed out this evening, expecting mainly clear conditions, mild temperatures so if you're headed out at about 8:00 this morning in vallejo, 51 degrees there, low 50s along the east bay shores and dropping down into the upper 40s in san jose. now, we will take a look at your extended forecast coming up in just a bit. justine. >> thank you so much. the power is now back on in the east bay after a squirrel caused a blackout. pg&e restored the power to all 11,000 customers who were in the dark in lafayette and walnut creek. pg&e says the outage was apparently caused by a squirrel that came in contact with a piece of electrical equipment that was connected to a bank of transformers. the latest spare-the-air alert has now been extended

through today. that means no fires indoors or outdoors with wood, charcoal or any other solid fuel. this is the second spare-the- air day in a row. a new study just out by m.i.t. saying that san francisco, the unhealthiest air here can be found in the inner mission. both the inner and outer missions are bordered by freeways that's a known health risk but people living in the inner mission are six times more likely to suffer from pulmonary disease because in the outer mission they have more trees. the study recommends planting more trees to combat freeway pollution and even encouraging homeowners to install quote green roofs. it's one thing to have unhealthy air outside but what about inside your home as well? the berkeley lab researchers are washing people -- warning people with gas ranges to be aware they are exposing themselves to toxic fumes. they say even something as harmless as boiling water can lead to respiratory problems.

people with gas ranges are being urged now to use a range hood whenever a gas flame is ignited. >> this flame right here is probably producing nitrogen dioxide. want to put a pot of cold water onto the flame and then the cold pot is interrupting the chrome that's probably producing carbon monoxide now so the combination of those things can build up in your house to levels we say are unhealthy. when you cook if you have one of the big range hoods out here and vents to the outdoors then turn it on before you start cooking, leave it on while you're cooking and then maybe a little while after. >> researchers say that fans and range hoods were more effective at cutting down pollution from the back burners. now this is a picture you have to see it as the stolen phone selfie. in oakland police are searching for two cell phone thieves. they say one of the armed robbers took this photo of himself with the stolen phone.

in august authorities say a woman was walking down east 28th street when two men demanded her cell phone and a necklace. she gave it to them but she had her phone set up so that any photos taken on it would be automatically uploaded to the internet. so police believe that the suspect took this photo of himself. a $2500 reward is now being offered. santa cruz county will soon offer residents recycling options for their christmas trees. it will include free curbside pickups and drop-off locations. officials say the trees will be chipped to serve as mulch for landscaping or burned to generate electrical power. there are rules, though for recycling trees including the taller trees must be cut down to a maximum of 6 feet for curbside pickup. the dates when pickup starts depends on where you live in santa cruz county so residents can find a recycling guide on the santa cruz county department of public works website. also this morning, the

marin humane society is holding a pet food drive to gather more donations of pet food, toys, treats and other supplies. this is for their special human animal relationships or share program. the program works with shelters such as the novato human needs center which connects the humane society with low income residents who are pet owners. supplies for other types of animals such as rabbits and birds are also being accepted. donations can be dropped off at the novato humane society or any pet food express store in marin county. much more ahead here on kron4 news weekend. the time right now is 8:37. we have lots more to get to so don't go anywhere. we will be right back.

good morning. we've been taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories of 2013 and our coverage continues right now. >> 40-year-old dimaggio set his house on fire, kidnapped 16- year-old hannah anderson.

ambassador. the mayor has now presented her with a key to the city and a year long pass to the mobile museum of art. dumping your christmas tree on the curb is a lot like tossing out a perfectly good turkey dinner if you're a goat at least. the owners of a colorado goat ranch are asking for old christmas trees. they say their goats love to eat them. owners say that the eating of the trees is a form of roughage that can help the goats clean out their systems, if you know what i mean. they are even offering to pick up your trees for people who live near their ranch. the goats only need about one hour to take an entire tree down just to a pile of twigs. i guess there's a lot of fiber in christmas trees. electricians are working right now on top of a new york city skyscraper to install the last of the 2688 crystal triangles that gives the times square new year's eve ball all

the top stories we are following, the emotionally charged dispute continues this morning on the next steps for the care of jahi mcmath what children's hospital oakland and the teenager's family are saying this morning. i'm justine waldman. thank you so much for being with us on this saturday. we want to start this hour off with a check of the forecast on a warm day with no rain in sight. >> this is a view from our roof camera, waking up to another round of sunshine, temperatures mid-40s in san francisco, 46 degrees currently in oakland, low 40s in san jose, upper 30s through concord and livermore and finally out of the 20s in santa rosa but still below freezing there. 31 degrees there. we will take a look at where those temperatures are headed coming up in my full report. justine. our top story this morning is the battle over the care of an oakland teenager who is on life support and is now becoming a war of words as jahi

mcmath's family is running out of time to keep her on a ventilator. after the 13-year-old was declared brain dead following a tonsillectomy more than two weeks ago. the situation has been ongoing and kron4's mike pelton joins us right now live from children's hospital oakland with the very latest. good morning, mike. >> reporter: justine, children's hospital oakland will allow jahi to be transferred to another facility as long as her family arranges it and it's done legally and ethically. however, jahi's family is running out of time. the court order keeping jahi on a ventilator here expires monday evening at 5:00 and ahead of that deadline, we have seen tensions running high. it was yesterday afternoon that we saw a very heated exchange between the family attorney and the hospital spokesman. >> apparently you think for your clients that you will fight to pull that plug. between the two of us, i would rather be on my side any day. >> providing false hope and creating a hoax that some young lady who is deceased is somehow going to come back when a judge has told you otherwise and two doctors have told you

otherwise? >> the judge hasn't said she is not coming back. you are out of your mind. this is the problem with spin doctors they make up thing. the judge said under the law she is legally brain dead period. >> reporter: the facility -- the attorney for jahi's family tells us they believe they found a second long-term care facility that will take jahi in southern california. however, certain conditions must first be met. jahi's family attorney says the county coroner did consent to a potential [ audio difficulty ] >> reporter: however, children's hospital oakland said they will not perform any surgery on -- >> all of them have the requirement that there be a gastric tube and the endotracheal tube. the problem is the endotracheal tube has to be in place for a period of time in order for the wound around it to heal before there can be transport. >> they just won't take "no" for an answer and that's very sad but if they want to move the body of this individual, we will do everything in our power

so long as it's legally and medically correct to help them. >> reporter: he says he, the hospital and long-term care facility have begun discussions to move jahi but you heard the family attorney there talking about not only do they need these procedures done, they need time for them to heal but children's hospital oakland says they plan to take jahi off of the ventilator unless a new court order and unless the hospital reverses course and decides to help the family with these procedures, the family attorney says we can expect him back in court on monday to seek an extension. >> thank you, mike. of course we will be following that story for you here on kron4. an ac transit union workers approved a new labor contract with management averting a possible strike. it was the third time unions voted after two were rejected e this year. the agreement now includes a 9 1/2 % wage increase which will be phased in over the next three years and employees will

also contribute $125 a month to their health care costs. the agency's board of directors needs to approve this contract and their next meeting is on january 8th. the search for a navy veteran reported missing in san francisco is over this morning. police have now confirmed the 30-year-old derek sell contacted them to say that he is okay. derek had not been seen for over a week. that's when friends and family launched an aggressive search to try and find him. san francisco police delivered good news on friday that derek was safe and had called in after seeing his story on television. derek's father was overwhelmed at this good news. >> i don't even know how to say i'm so relieved and so thankful, you know, give the media all the difficulty you want for what they do but this would not have happened if you guys had not immediately jumped in because he wouldn't have seen it, he wouldn't have known

and so my heart is huge. i am so grateful. >> derek requested privacy when speaking to police so we don't know his exact location but family and friends said that derek should take all the time that he needs. they are just glad that he's okay. also in san francisco, a body found in the water near pier 48 has been identified as 22-year-old paulo netto, the student from brazil had been visiting san francisco. he was reported missing in october after he left a disturbing message for his relatives saying that he needed help. his sister later came to san francisco from los angeles to file a missing persons report. police are saying now that this case could become a homicide investigation. a man from the bay area has been killed in an avalanche in wyoming. this happened on thursday near a resort in jackson hole. the man, michael kazanjy was skiing in the back country with friends, that's when they apparently triggered an avalanche. rescuers found the 29-year-old

about half hour later and according to his facebook page he had graduated from cal berkeley. a person is in grave condition this morning in the hospital after being shot last night in east oakland. police say the shooting happened on the 2300 block of 96th avenue at about 11:00 last night when officers arrived, they say that they found a victim suffering from at least one gunshot wound. no suspect information was immediately available this morning and we have not heard of any arrest just yet. police are still investigating the shooting. lots more ahead here on the kron4 news weekend. we want to find out what jan wahl has in store. the camera zooming in on her and her fabulous hat. >> i'm ready for my close-up, mr. demille. actually i'm ready to tell you about my top 10 movies of the year which will be next week. this week three big new movies, two not so hot but one fabulous and a few other things to see on this holiday weekend. that's coming up.

good morning. we are back at 9:09 and this year there were a lot of triumphs and heart breaks that rocked the bay area and the nation from obamacare glitches to a gunman at lax. this morning we are taking a look at some of the biggest stories that made headlines in 2013. >> the stars and stripes say it all. the comeback of 2013 is complete. america's cup will stay in america. >> this government shutdown is -- >> for healthcare.gov, glitches, errors, breakdowns lower than expected enrollment. >> we have humbled the roll-out on this -- >> body turned up on a fourth floor exterior stairwell 17 days after lynne spalding went missing from her hospital room. >> what happened at our

hospital is horrible. >> fatal shooting of a 13-year- old boy. >> later revealed that lopez was only carrying a replica. >> major incident working here at lax. >> on the scene at los angeles international airport. >> people were screaming. >> mayhem. >> 23-year-old paul ciancia opened fire at a tsa checkpoint. >> tsa officer was killed. the first to die in the line of duty. >> traveling through the caldecott continual will soon get easier. >> the brand-new fourth floor -- >> caltrans estimates going to and from work will take about 15 minutes less. >> what may be the strongest crime scene ever reported, the winds gusting more than 200 miles an hour. >> a 5-year-old with leukemia is turk into bat -- turning

into bat kid. >> what would we do without you? >> thank you the community and everybody helping out. >> america at its best. >> that was definitely my favorite story in 2013. we will take a quick break here but have job advice for job seekers right after this.

welcome back to kron4 news weekend. time right now 9:15. this is a view from our mount tam camera. plenty of sunshine, light winds. another spare-the-air day. going to be a little bit hazy out there as well but continue to see above average temperatures today, tomorrow and even as we head into the week. now taking a look at satellite and radar, we did have a low pressure system pass through yesterday. we didn't get any moisture from that, just high and midlevel clouds. you can see it pushed out of our area and we have high pressure building. that is going to keep any storm

track far to the north of us. as for your temperature, certainly been a chilly start in the north bay but santa rosa finally out of the 20s but barely there, only 31 degrees there, 37 degrees currently in novato, low 40s if you're heading out the door in richmond and 42 degrees currently in fremont. this is what your afternoon highs look like, mid-60s for redwood city, palo alto, upper 60s expected for los gatos, 65 degrees the high for milpitas, east valley, 65 degrees for livermore, 64 degrees expected for pleasnaton, low 60s through san leandro, hayward and richmond, downtown san francisco topping out at 62 degrees, upper 50s at ocean beach and mid-60s in the north bay today. taking a look at your seven day around the bay, showing us we are going to continue to see sunny, dry, mild conditions throughout the week as we ring in the new year, expecting plenty of sunshine, mid-60s on the board for your highs, mid- 40s for your bay lows and mid-

30s for your inland lows. we've got -- you maybe got a little extra spending money for christmas so the question is this morning is how should a job seeker spend it. our career expert has great options this morning. good morning, kim, how are you? >> good morning. >> how should we spend cash appropriately for the holidays if we are looking for a job? >> you want to maintain that mental and physical stimulation, it's so easy to get really, really lazy when you're not -- you know, if you don't actually have a job, you don't have a place to be at a certain time so group exercise classes is a great way to invest those holiday dollars, so you may be thinking okay well i had a gym membership so why not just invest my money there on a monthly basis? what a group exercise class does is gives you a disciplined schedule, gives you structure. you have to be at a certain place at a certain time. >> motivation. >> exactly. so you have to set your alarm clock, you have to be there and you also have to be punk wall

which -- punchwall -- punctual, which is key. >> you don't have to spend money if you're trying to do something like that. >> you can go on groupon or living social, my good friend and an image consultant donny speaks highly of zumba classes. if that can't motivate you, then nothing will. >> next advice is you want to have confidence as you're starting the new year so maybe spend a little of that money that you got on a makeover. >> get a makeover. there's nothing like saying this is a new chapter in my life and, you know, get that new sense of self-confidence than getting a makeover, getting a fresh haircut, getting a few highlights, even for men. they can get a -- >> you're saying highlights for men? >> yes. >> guys get their hair colored not as taboo as it used to be. >> make sure you keep it very simple and professional.

that's key when you're trying to invest in your personal presentation and don't forget the nails. clean cuticles and, you know, nice, clean, bright colored nail polish, fantastic. not bright purple or bright red but just a very professional subtle color. >> something about having a perfect looking hand that also goes a long way. >> you shake hands with someone, the first thing they are going to look at is your face and then your hands. >> i'm glad i got a manicure then before we talked this morning. >> look nice. >> thank you. let's say you got gift cards for christmas or hanukkah or whatever but they are to places you would never go to so this is money that's burning -- >> you've got a $25 gift certificate for lobster chef, didn't new. >> i do like lobster. maybe it's a place i would never shop. what do i do with this card now? >> you can do a couple of things. you can sell them on ebay. if you really need to devote those resources to the job search, a $25 get card, you can

sell it on ebay, even sell it at a loss for just a couple of dollars. $23 is better than nothing. you can also go onto a site like card pool.com where you can trade or exchange your gift card for something that is more beneficial to you, for example, if you got a $25 gift card for lobster shack, you can trade it in for a gift card for best buy, maybe we can even go on there. i found a $25 gift card for best buy sitting in my wallet. >> the cards are not good for life. you've got to use it or lose it type thing. >> especially in california. >> i never even thought of that, that if i got a gift card for somewhere instead of letting it sit in my drawer to try to sell it to someone. great idea to make extra money. >> one thing people don't know, amazon also allows you to trade any gift card on card pool.com

for an amazon gift card. >> and everybody shops at amazon. >> right. and you can get something like a mobile hot spot which is also critical if you are a job seeker and you're trying to stay motivated and you're ending up working a lot from home and you just get a little bit lazy, you can invest in a mobile hot spot. you can get one already on your phone. i know with inns all you have -- iphones all you have to do is call at&t or sprint or verizon or whatever and you can turn on your personal hot spot, you get wi-fi anywhere or get a separate device and carry it around with you and use a separate carrier than even what your phone is. >> great advice, kim. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> we are going to take a quick break and be right back. good morning nelly! woah.

good morning. 9:24, phil robertson is returning to his "duck dynasty" program. the bearded star of the reality show was suspended earlier this month following comments he made in an interview with "gq"

magazine. in the article robertson called homosexuality sinful and questioned claims of the mistreatment of blacks during the precivil rights era. opinions about a&e's decision to end his suspension are mixed. >> we think he had the right to say it and we believe in the same moral beliefs that phil believes in. we are behind him 100%. >> the comments are pretty harsh. there are ways of saying things. if you don't agree with something, there's ways to word it where you're not trying to dehumanize someone. >> robertson has thanked his supporters on his facebook page. a&e has also said it will now air public service announcements that promote unity and tolerance. "esquire" magazine has named the best dressed man of 2013 and this guy likes to wear a lot of white. the magazine gave pope francis the title of best dressed man.

officials admit this is an unconventional choice but say that the pontiff's fashion decisions like not wearing flashy garments showed some humility rarely seen from previous popes. other celebrities who made the list, bradley cooper, joseph gordon-levitt and chris pine. despite a string of summertime flops hollywood is expected to have a banner year at the box office coming in just shy of $11 billion. this is the largest annual take ever. but because of higher ticket prices actual attendance at theaters remain flat after a decade of decline. high profile flops such as the lone ranger, after earth and "turbo" offset by mega hits like "fast and furious 6" and ironman, a strong fall and holiday slate -- strong fall in holiday slated movies -- no good deed goes unpunished but a cabdriver in

sin city has now discovered that he can be highly rewarded for doing the right thing. gerardo gamboa made headlines when he returned a paper bag filled with $300,000 cash that was left behind in his cab. the money belonged to a forgotful professional -- forgetful professional poker player and now that player given him a $10,000 as a thank you and his employer also gave him a reward, $1000, a steak dinner for two, four paid days off and most importantly, title of driver of the year. lots more ahead here on kron4 news weekend. take a quick look outside from our mount tam cam, a beautiful day in store for you on this saturday. we will have more on the weather forecast that includes maybe possibly, maybe sort of a chance of rain. we will find out right after this. good. good answer.

good morning. at 9:30 the battle over the care of an oakland teenager on life support became a war of words outside of children's hospital oakland. the hospital is now saying that it will release the body of jahi mcmath if the family can get a doctor to perform the insertion of a breathing tube and a nutrition tube. also provide transportation and have a facility that is willing to receive her body. the hospital spokesperson and the attorney for the mcmath family got into a little argument on the steps of the hospital yesterday. >> apparently you think that your clients, that you will fight to pull that plug. between the two of us, i would rather be on my side any day. >> providing false hope and creating a hoax that some young lady who is deceased is somehow going to come back when a judge has told you otherwise and two doctors have told you otherwise? >> the judge hasn't said she is not coming back. you're out of your mind. this is the problem with spin doctors, they make up things. the judge said under the law

she is legally brain dead, period. >> the hospital says it will help the family with their wishes as long as things are done in a legal and ethical way. jahi's family has now located a second nursing home that's willing to provide her with long-term care after another facility backed out. a lawyer for the mcmath family is not naming that facility. time now for a check of today's forecast at 9:31. we have a look at the sunny day ahead. >> good morning to you. waking up to plenty of sunshine, this is the view from our roof camera and you can see just that, it's going to be another spare-the-air today. chilly start to the morning or it has been in the north base, this is where temperatures sitting right now, 31 degrees in santa rosa, upper 30s for those of you in novato and vallejo, low 40s currently in napa, 50 degrees heading out the door in daly city and waking up to low 40s now in san jose. as we head into the afternoon, expecting lots of sunshine, little bit of haze out there. temperatures look like this

afternoon, 65 degrees for oakland, 60 degrees expected in san mateo, mid-60s for the north bay today and low to mid- 60s in the south bay. now, for those of you headed out this evening, expect mainly clear skies, mild condition. so futurecast set ahead to 8:00 p.m., looking at mid-50s if you're heading out in fairfield tonight, low 50s along the east bay shores and upper 40s for san jose. take a look at the extended forecast, what to expect as we ring in the new year coming up in my full report. justine. >> thank you so much. the power back on in the east bay this morning after a squirrel caused a blackout. pg&e restored the power to 11,000 customers who were in the dark in lafayette and walnut creek. pg&e tells us the outage was apparently caused by a squirrel that came in contact with a piece of electrical equipment that was connected to a bank of transformers. the latest spare-the-air alert has now been extended through today. that means no fires indoors or outdoors with wood, charcoal or any other solid fuel. this is the sixth spare-the-air

day in a row. a new study by m.i.t. says san francisco's unhealthiest air can be found in the inner mission and the outer mission as well because they are both boarded by freeways. but people who live in the inner mission are six times more likely to suffer from pulmonary disease because in the outer mission they are more likely to have trees. the study recommends planting trees to try to combat freeway pollution and also encourages homeowners to install green roofs. it's one thing to have unhealthy air outside but what about inside your home as well? lawrence berkeley lab researchers warning people with gas ranges to be aware they are exposing themselves to toxic fumes. they say something as seemingly harmless as boiling water can lead to respiratory problems. people with gas ranges are being urged to use a range hood whenever a gas flame is ignited. >> so this flame right here is

probably producing nitrogen dioxide and ultrafine particles, probably not producing a lot of carbon dioxide yet. but when i put this pot of cold water onto the flame then the cold pot is interrupting the plame that's probably producing carbon monoxide now. so the combination of things can build up in your house to levels that we say are unhealthy. when you cook, if you have one of these range hoods above here and it vents to the outdoors, then you want to turn it on before you start cooking, leave it on while you're cooking and maybe for a little while after. >> researchers say that fans in range hoods were more effective than cutting down pollution from the back burners. this is the stolen selfie everyone is talking about and oakland police are searching for two cell phone thieves. they say one of the armed robbers took this photo of himself with the stolen phone. in august authorities say a woman was walking down east 28th street when two men demanded her cell phone and necklace. she gave it to them but she had her phone set up so that any

photos would be automatically uploaded to the internet and police believe that the suspect took this photo of himself. there is now a $2500 reward being offered to find him. in santa cruz county, they will soon be offering residents recycling options for their christmas trees that will include free curbside pickups and drop-off locations. officials say that the trees will be chipped to serve as mulch for landscaping or burned to generate electrical power. there are some rules for recycling trees that include that taller trees have to be cut to a maximum of 6 feet in order to be picked up on the curb. the dates for when pickup starts depends on where you live in the country so you can visit the country's public works website to get the very latest information. now the marin county humane society is holding a pet food drive so they can gather more donations of pet food, toys, treats and other supplies. this is for their special human animal relationship or share

program. that program works with shelters such as the novato human needs center which connects the humane society with low income residents who are pet owners. the supplies for other types of animals like rabbits and birds are also being accepted. donations can be dropped off at the novato humane society or any pet food express store in marin. much more ahead here on kron4 news weekend. jan wahl is sitting by with a quick look at the best movies of the year as we take a live look outside at the bay bridge toll plaza, very light traffic and very blue skies. we will be right back. a subaru...

...are the hands that do good things for the whole community: the environment, seniors, kids, and animals. that's why we created the share the love event. by the end of this year, the total donated by subaru could reach 35 million dollars. you get a great deal on a new subaru. we'll donate 250 dollars to a choice of charities

that benefit your community. it feels good to be a helping hand.

good morning. at about 9:40, more a million people are losing their extended unemployment benefits today including 213,000 people in california. we got the very latest from sullen saffordy. >> reporter: that is what the last six months have been like for paul housey. >> i have answered over 500 want ads on one website alone. >> reporter: at 52 he's been out of work in educational publishing and now another blow. he's one of 1.3 million americans losing unemployment benefits. on average, they have been getting $300 each week. housey's check wasn't nearly enough to cover the $1100 rent on his new york apartment and now it will stop coming. >> i won't be able to buy food, i won't be able to pay my

bills. >> reporter: extended unemployment benefits beyond the usual 26 weeks were started during the bush administration to help americans hit by the recession. since 2008 they have been renewed 11 times. but not this time. congress failed to pass an extension in the budget deal teeing up a nasty fight for the new year. >> it's going to be classic messy washington politics over an issue where the two parties don't have a united view. this is one of the issues that the right flank wants to fight on. >> reporter: some republicans say it's time to end the program altogether. they argue it's too expensive, a year's extension cost $25 billion. people have gotten dependent and they say the economy is strong enough now without them. >> when you extend benefits to 73 weeks or 99 weeks it encourages some people to stay unemployed too long and that makes it increasingly hard for them to get back into the

workforce. >> reporter: democrats say benefit checks get spent right away, spending that's necessary to boost the economic recovery. >> this is what these people need in order just to get by and it's what the economy needs in order to keep its momentum. removing this bare minimum safety net beyond just being cruel is not going to be productive in terms of getting them back in the labor force or getting them a job. >> reporter: but the political blame game doesn't help paul housey's new reality. >> it's extremely stressful. i mean, i've gotten physically sick, haven't been able to sleep. look who is here. >> all right. >> we are going to talk movies after the break, deal? >> definitely a deal. >> shake on it. we will be right back.

welcome back to kron4 news weekend. this is a view from our mount tam cam waking up to pretty

much clear skies across the board. another spare-the-air day. sunny, hazy conditions as we head through the afternoon. continue with the warm temperatures through tomorrow and as we head into next week, looks like we still don't have any rain in sight and this is why. you can see satellite and radar showing high pressure building once again so that is going to keep any storm trek far to the north of us. temperatures this morning, chilly start in the north bay, started out in the 20s there and now in the 30s and 40s so 31 degrees in santa rosa, 39 degrees if you're heading out the door in novato, 49 degrees here in san francisco, upper 50s at half moon bay, mid-40s along the east bay shores right now and low 40s currently in san jose. this is what your afternoon highs look like, mid-60s for sunnyvale, mountainview, 68 degrees the high for los gatos. 63 degrees the high for concord, 63 through richmond,

san leandro and heyward -- hayward today. mid-60s in the north bay. taking a look at your seven day around the bay, we are going to continue to see these sunny, mild conditions throughout the week, mid-60s mainly for the highs, bay lows dropping down to mid-40s and mid-30s expected for our inland lows. >> thank you so much. a lot of great movies hitting the box office this weekend. who else should talk to us about it other than jan wahl. good morning. >> very nice to see you, justine. >> what are the big ones? >> in my shy, nonjudgmental way, here we go. looking at movies that are playing right now that just came out. "the wolf of wall street," written by terrance winter from his own experience directed by martin score saucy, this -- scorsese, drama. leonardo dicaprio plays real life wall street climber who built a hallow empire by

tricking investors when he's flying high, we are talking drugs, sex, debalchry -- debatchry, decadent. a little good fellows, a little casino and a lot of orangeality -- originality. a lot of bang for your buck. 4 1/2. that's my highest. with a special hats off to dicaprio for his commitment to this character. he's going to get nominated for it i'm sure and he lives this role so that is a movie i highly recommend. adults only, please. >> so it's three hours of leonardo dicaprio with sex and drugs and money in it? >> yeah, uh-huh. >> okay. got it. just checking. >> okay. this year a film by joseph gordon levit was named don john. it's easier to have intimacy with technology, right? spike jones has taken it one step further by having a man who falls deeply in love with his own operating system. joaquin phoenix is the sad guy having a romance with his

computer who is voiced by scarlett johansson. this film received great buzz but i find it more popular with men than women. some women offended by it. i'm not on the bandwagon with this movie when there's so much else out there like "nebraska" and "saving mr. banks" but a imaginative film. two hats on that one. "the secret life of walter mitty," it should have been great. it's based on a 1937 story by james -- about a hapless day dreamer. he dreams big. in 1947 danny kay starred in the movie version but now ben stiller has his own version, starring as a man looking at a magazine shifting over to digital. that's relevant. working for life magazine, great touch in this movie. he loses an important negative, leads to tracking down an exstin trick -- eccentric photographer played by sean penn. the family with this -- the

problem with this film, walter's fantasies are not specific. the cinematography is beautiful but not the film. badly directed. here's movies i hope people will see right now, "american hustle," "frozen" for the entire family and wonderful, ma dina mansell is a fantastic singer. wonderful, wonderful "frozen." "saving mr. banks," a beautiful movie. "philomena," see why judi dench is going to get nominated this year. a few movies to see right now and don't forget about nebraska, that is -- "nebraska," that is an unusual film. >> which one is your favorite? >> i think "nebraska" right now. "nebraska" is really my favorite film and i'm married to a guy from iowa and even he loved it. it's really a great film. you got to wait for 10 minutes, kind of get into it and once you're in it, it's funny, it's better than you would think it would be and everybody is saying to me, they are stopping

me on the street and saying it's so much funnier than i thought it would be. the other one is "saving mr. banks." >> you loved that one? >> it reminds us that we all carry our baggage from our childhood with us in every situation and that's what happened to the woman who wrote the story in mary poppins, very well done. >> i watched "american hustle" and i'm so behind. i think the last movie i saw was the first catching fire movie but that's okay. very sexy movie, amazing costumes, great acting. the plot is a little all over the place but -- >> yeah. it is good, though. it's very visual and the costumes are going to probably win for best costumes. >> definitely. >> they are so fabulous. and the hair styles, especially that combover, pretty amazing. yeah. and it's a fun film. it's well paced. it moves like this which is good. >> makes me want to invest in some shirts like amy adams was wearing in the movie. not for tv? >> not for tv?

>> i don't think it would go over well with the -- >> jennifer lawrence is so good in that that i felt sorry for amy adams. suddenly here comes jennifer lawrence and nobody seems to be relevant anymore. great clothes. that jennifer lawrence reminds me of a classic actress named carol lombard in the old days. she is interesting and fun. >> she is the hot thing in 2013. >> very vibrant. >> jan, thank you for being here this morning. >> happy new year if i don't see you. >> i've been told to go to winners. i think i already did that. so we are good. >> winner, winner. >> winner, winner. that's it, girl. so are you if you see good movies. i'm glad you're catching up with all of these. >> i'm trying. it's not as easy as i thought it was going to be because i can't stay awake. >> i feel your pain. we will be right back. thanks, jan.

here's an idea much something to do with your christmas tree because turns out it's a perfectly good thing for a goat to eat. owners of a colorado ranch are asking for your old christmas trees because they say their goats love to eat them. owners say eating the trees is a form of roughage that can help clean out the goats' system. they are even offering to pick up the trees only for people who live near the area and the goats only need about an hour to eat the whole tree and it's just really good for them and there's a lot of fiber and -- >> so glad you told us that. >> i know. i see people leaving them on the curbs now. instead you can turn them into food if you're in colorado. also new year's eve is so close and electricians are working atop of a new york city skyscraper to install those last little pieces of the new year's eve times square ball. each year the waterford crystals that make up the outside of the orb are replaced with new pieces of glass and

one piece this year is standing out because it was crafted from a drawing of a rose that was submitted by a 12-year-old cancer patient at st. jude's children's research center in memphis. and did you know that there are 2688 crystals in that ball? and if you want to watch it, you should make sure you join us on kron4's new year's eve live show that's presented by nissan. it's the only local live new year's eve show hosted by gary radnich and catherine heenan. they make sure that you have the best seat in the house for all the fireworks and parties in town. that is right after the kron4 news at 11:00 on tuesday night, starts at 11:30. it's a lot of fun. they do a great job with it. >> gary is hysterical, catherine is the straight person and the two together are great. seven day around the bay, lots of 99 on tap for us, temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, bay areas drop into mid-40s and inland lows mid-
